That's not how "career woman" is defined: a woman who considers her job and success in her job to be very important in her life A career woman may be a workaholic, but she can also have a good work/life balance. OP is misusing the term.

Lots of physical attractiveness traits go cross culture (like across countries). I saw another paper posted that showed that. It wasn't muscularity level per say, but body shape (somewhat related). We're just supposed to take your word for it? No, sorry. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/behavioral-and-brain-sciences/article/weirdest-people-in-the-world/BF84F7517D56AFF7B7EB58411A554C17 https://www.nature.com/articles/466029a#ref1 WEIRD subjects are particularly unusual compared with the re…

How can you know you want to be in a relationship with someone if you haven't spent any time with them?
/r/PurplePillDebate03/11/18 05:35 PM

I actually studied ethology, and still work with a lot of them. It is not accepted that there is a dominance hierarchy amongst all social animals. Instead there is often a dominance relationship between specific individuals WRT specific resources. E.g. between dogs A and B, dog A may display dominance towards choice of bed, while dog B may have dominance in terms of first access to food bowls.

That mentality is exactly how you have a healthy, happy relationship.

Agreed. A lot of people are just really bad at compromising. Nothing about my marriage feels like an effort because it comes naturally to us to want to make sure we're both happy.

I don't think I've been to a drunken sex kind of a party since I was a teenager. You may be greatly overestimating their prevalence. I know several of my friends who were at last night's party use Tinder (though I don't know what they've put in their bios).

I went to a party last night. No one had sex or did anything stupid.

the same could be said for a man who will marry you but won't take your last name No, it says you'll have problems with her following you. That you aren't a team unless the wife is in charge. Men in their naïve practicality might agree to this, not understanding the consequences. And you could say the exact same thing about a man expecting his fiance to take his last name...

I actually found some fabric of farm animals doing yoga! I made a bag from it though.
/r/PurplePillDebate02/09/18 12:05 AM

Yeah, when I make clothes my primary concern is not "does this dress make my boobs look as big as possible and my waist as small as possible?" In order of priority it goes: Does the fabric have a super cool pattern, preferably with animals on? Are the colours bright and pretty? Is the dress comfortable to wear? Is the fit good? Is it professional enough I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen out and about in it by my boss? Is it vaguely flattering? Is the fabric high quality?

If she's happy not orgasming every time, why can't you just accept that her sexuality is different from yours instead of projecting your insecurities onto her?
/r/PurplePillDebate22/08/18 10:42 PM

Not necessarily. I masturbate plenty of times without orgasming. It's not always a goal.
/r/PurplePillDebate22/08/18 10:26 PM

Why should anyone have to experience sexual pleasure in the way that you do? What makes your way objectively right? I rarely orgasm during sex because I don't particularly care to. I still love sex so why "should" I have to do it any differently?

Sure, but it's a decision you choose to make (even if sometimes none of the options are great ones). You weigh up all sorts of factors when buying/renting a home - size, price, distance to work, number of bedrooms, does it have a garden, are there shops nearby, etc. Some people just put greater emphasis on the location factor, and may compensate their standard of living in other areas. That may mean working more, or it may mean not having a holiday every year.

I don't think it's really fair to include commute in working hours. There's nothing about having a career job that necessitates having a long commute - that's a choice you make.

That's not how surveying works. You don't need to survey every single person in the population, you survey a representative sample.

I was only bullied once when I was ~6. I figured out the girl was just jealous and lonely, so I befriended her instead. IME a lot of bullying is down to your mindset. If you give as good as you get and refuse to be intimidated you're not a victim anymore. That said, I've never been physically attacked.

Most women are very "serious". It seems like a lot of women are miserable more often than not, and while that's okay if they have a good heart and care about others, I don't find it attractive. Women are also less likely to have special interests and more likely to casually like a lot of different things, which is good in the sense that it's good to be a well-rounded individual, but I find that a lot of women aren't really that passionate about anything aside from their families. This could be a…

The best way to assess whether X discipline is to examine the philosophical assumptions of science (metaphysical, theoretical, and methodological).

One significant implication of determinism is that all events are predictable, at least in principle. If psychology is a science, then it must assume determinism, which means that psychological events …

This is something that comes up a lot, and it usually seems to be the result of a miscommunication between the genders. There are 2 definitions of "respect": a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others. In my experience when men talk about "respect" they're generally referring to the former definition. When women talk about it they generally mean the latter definition.

B) some feminists do work on men's issues. E.g. C) there is no obligation for feminists to work on men's issues. Believing that women have historically been oppressed and still suffer from systematic biases in some areas, and working to bring the treatment of women up to the tre…

Eh, a few of these girls were on tinder and happy with hookups. They still expected potential shags to not be dicks (obviously a lower bar than taking the time to thoroughly vet a personality).

That's one of the 3 "risk-taking" behaviours they measure (and I would agree with /u/haunting-you that 2 of those behaviours need more context to actually be called risk-taking): Having been tattooed also correlated with certain risk-taking behaviors, most notably smoking, cannabis use, and greater numbers of lifetime sexual partners.

It's not happened to anyone I know (afaik). The closest I can think of is a friend walked into her bedroom naked and posed in the doorway, then asked her boyfriend if he wanted to have sex.

Yes it is the same and the Nobel Prize Committee similarly thinks so. Show me where. Picking the best man against a lineup of the men who have the least desirable traits is that. It is picking the hottest men out of the least preferred men who will still provide a stable relationship. Which is not picking the least preferred mate wwasrip! It's picking the best of your options.

No, this still doesn't make any sense. Say we accept all your premises about women doing zero pursuing etc. If a woman had 5 men all interested in her, all wanting to be in a stable relationship with her, why would she pick the one she liked the least?

since women usually play the sought role, they instead go up the list from least preferred -> most preferred, which ends with them being matched with their least-preferred man with which they have a stable relationship. I don't understand what you mean by this. Why would women start with the men they like the least?
/r/PurplePillDebate09/04/18 05:54 PM

It depends if it was a one time only thing, or you got to choose multiple times. If it was once only I'd probably stick with being a woman because it's what I know. If I could have lots of goes I'd definitely try manhood.

This is an interesting question. I haven't thought about it much before, but these are my initial guesses: If someone is already physically attractive, then being awkward isn't an obvious detraction.

It's not. It's also not bad for a specific woman to not want that role for herself, or for a man to not want to be stereotypically masculine. People are free to choose the gender roles they want to perform in a relationship. The only issue is when someone tries to force someone else into a gender role, or implies that you are lesser if you do not fit the gender role that matches your sex.

Actually, I did not claim that pregnancy is always a negative consequence of sex, only that it can be (e.g. when it results in death). You were the one making the blanket statements, that I objected to: Pregnancy is not a negative sexual consequence

I fail to believe that you are incapable of understanding two step linkages. Sex can cause pregnancy which can cause death.

No, we were talking about negative consequences of sex, of which pregnancy was the sole example you picked up on and disagreed with - then tried to backtrack by claiming negative consequences are too subjective to talk about.

I mentioned dying because you claimed that pregnancy is not a negative consequence to sex. Anyone who is not arguing disingenuously would admit that death, something some women have to fear from pregnancy, is a negative consequence.

No, bad faith arguing is hard to swallow. The context of this was whether women are more susceptible to negative consequences of sex. You didn't argue whether or not there are negative consequences to sex (because there's no "value" in nature) but disagreed with a specific example - pregnancy. Only when multiple people challenged you on that did you suddenly rely on the old cop out of morality is subjective so you can't say whether anything is negative. No point in debating a person who does tha…

Prole women get degrees. Why do you believe that? There are literally more male babies born each step you take up the class ladder. Source?

My husband's dad was a SAHD in the 80's and the 90's. His mum went back to work just a couple of weeks after giving birth to both him and his brother, and his dad took a break from being a firefighter each time. It worked great for them, and I hope if we can afford it with later children we can do the same.

I think the whole architecture of the MBTI is pseudo science. It is. It's not scientifically valid and is subject to numerous criticisms. It was developed by 2 people who weren't trained scientists off the work of one psychologist whose own work was also subject to numerous criticisms and untestable. Most of the "evidence" supporting it is methodologically unsound/paid for by the Myers-Briggs foundation. It relies on dichotomous binary choices which is unrealistic - people fall in a bellcurve no…

Each couple can obviously decide this for themselves, but my husband and I have completely shared finances. I wouldn't want it any other way. We're a partnership, not roommates.

Oh great, here we go again. No one can agree on one definition of alpha. On this sub alone I've heard alpha defined as someone who is: in the top 10% of looks naturally assertive aggressive doesn't abide by anyone else's rules socially dominant respected and admired by all his peers able to get sex whenever he wants high value If you're now defining it as just "someone who's partner is sexually attracted to them" then not only is the concept practically meaningless, but so is this post. The post…
/r/PurplePillDebate06/11/17 03:03 PM

Because it's wrong. The post argues that "if you're not Alpha, you're a cuck", defining cuck as someone receiving worse sex because their partner isn't attracted to them. OP even says "My contention is that nothing exists between Alpha and Cuck." If my husband isn't an alpha (and he's really not) but he's also not "cucked", then it must be wrong in some regard.

That's still not an equivalent situation (ie not analogous). The man does still get a second chance with any new children, exactly the same as the woman.

Going by the logic "everyone has the same rights" there's no issue here. Men also have the right to abort each and every pregnancy that takes root in their bodies. It's biology that's discriminating, not the law.

I thought incel meant "involuntarily celibate" because no one will sleep with you. If there are women who would sleep with you but you just don't want to sleep with them, doesn't that make you not incel? (And isn't that the argument behind why women can't be incel?)* *Not saying I agree with any of this, but that's just my understanding of the common arguments.

Best not to put too much stock into it. The actual hierarchy lacks empirical support and the rank-ordering of the needs has been questioned (Wahba & Bridwell 1976). It's based on Western ideology and is considered ethnocentric by some as it doesn't account for differences in the cultural needs of societies (Hofstede 1984). For instance, it has been shown to not apply to collectivist cultures (Gambrel & Cianci 2003).

Nope. The concept of the "alpha" wolf comes from research on captive packs, with unnatural social dynamics. In the wild wolf packs are more like families.

Most research on the social dynamics of wolf packs, however, has been conducted on non-natural assortments of captive wolves. Here I describe the wolf-pack social or…

Well, my apartment's on the ground floor because that made moving much easier, but I have all the rest going on. Certainly luck was involved (in that I was extremely lucky to have met my husband so young), but I really don't think I'm extraordinary in the other respects.

A) "Modern feminism" is not one big monolith with unified commandments and followers. B) I live in a different country to the author, and presumably have a different social circle. It's not that weird that we would have different experiences. C) I didn't get the impression that she thought men should be at her beck and call with nothing in return, but rather she's only just reaching the point where she thinks she might enjoy the trade offs.

Possibly mental rotation as well. Men typically outperform women in mental rotation tests, with one meta-analysis reporting an effect size of d=0.57 - i.e. a shared variance of 7% between gender and mental rotation ability (Maeda & Yoon, 2013). However, we also know that mental rotation improves with repetition; therefore, the gender difference seen in the data may just reflect different participation levels in extracurricular activities that involve the practicing of mental rotation for fun (e.…

I accept that some women are more dominant than others, and some prefer less dominant partners than others, that's obvious. HL women being caused by trauma does not seem obvious at all to me, and that's why I asked for evidence. As several others have pointed out, it intuitively makes sense that trauma would be more likely to result in LH women.

I don't have any evidence for this but it intuitively makes more sense to me. This: Personally I think "trauma" is more likely to cause LH, its the type that is best suited for an environment in which there is a tendency towards intrasexual male violence, abduction, etc. Yielding fully, body and mind, is the best way for a female to thrive in that environment. Seems logical.

I don't think that this hierarchy is entirely accurate, or at least not all of the time. You're right, it's not.

It's based on Western ideology and is considered ethnocentric by some as it doesn't account for differences in the cultural needs of societies (Hofstede 1984).

Men can't become sexually attractive after a woman gets to know them. Yes, they can. As I have repeatedly said. We're just talking in circles now. So I disagree with you. You're wrong about this.

Have you tried doing any research into it? E.g.

Once familial role variables were included in the model, gender was not a significant predic…
